Tag: Blink
Replacement:
<BLINK>{param}</BLINK>

I pity the forum with that tag...

May not be compatible with all browsers :/
(which is good, IMO!)

You are using Mozilla, right? That won't work in IE without some js. ;)

Is there a way to edit vbulletin_global.js and get it to work on IE based browsers?

Not that I know of but I have a little piece of js you can put in your headiclude that will make it work on IE and others. ;)

Sure, that will work. I just thought it would have to go in vbulletin_global because I have another bb code that required javascript and I had to edit vbulletin_global...

Blinking Message Code

Add the following to the headinclude template.


<script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
<!--
function doBlink() {
var blink = document.all.tags("BLINK")
for (var i=0; i<blink.length; i++)
blink[i].style.visibility = blink[i].style.visibility == "" ? "hidden" : ""
}
function startBlink() {
if (document.all)
setInterval("doBlink()",600)
}
window.onload = startBlink;
// -->
</script>

Then just use <blink>Text here</blink>. ;)

I inserted the above text into the headinclude template and now can do blinking text. (Thanks!!)

What I'd like to do is have my "search" text in the Navbar blink. I located what I thought was where I should put the code in the Nav template, but when I put the blink tag around what I think is the corrrect text, it includes text "array" next to search in my navbar (search is blinking though!!) How do I get rid of this Array tag - or am I doing this in the wrong place?

<td id="navbar_search" class="vbmenu_control"><a href="search.php$session[sessionurl_q]" accesskey="4" rel="nofollow">$vbphrase<blink>[search]</blink></a> <script type="text/javascript"> vbmenu_register("navbar_search"); </script></td>

Here's a screenshot of what I'm getting...
